Search engine giant Google’s Nest product changes are affecting other “smart” home products and systems that integrate it. Nest was acquired by Google in 2014 for more than $3 billion. This now, unfortunately, compromises many smart home installations as Google is ending the “Works with Nest” program and replacing it with “Works with Google Assistant”.

So what does this mean for integrators of Nest? They may not be able to adapt or participate in the new Works with Google Assistant program, and therefore, will no longer provide systems to their full capabilities. Thousands of products and customer installations will be affected. Current reports can be found on The Verge,Cnet, and Extreme Tech.

Problems with the Cloud

Dependence on the manufacturer’s server

One of the top weaknesses of Cloud-based smart home systems. If a manufacturer decides to discontinue a service, thousands of functioning products and integrations become simply unusable one day to the next. The only way to save them? Costly updates – both time and money. But let’s not forget, the potential that installations will become useless, an even more significant loss because what was the point of integrating such “smart” products then? The answer is clear once we get our heads out of the Cloud.

Invading your privacy

The recent privacy attack from Amazon Alexa devices has been all over the media. Thousands of customers’ voice commands were not only listened by, but also recorded and evaluated by Amazon employees. Lesser known, microphones were also used in Nest devices. According to Google, this was unintentional. Statements claim that Nest users were never spied on, but the possibility is always there for open ears. Time to drop the mic…

Offline availability

Cloud-based products rely on internet connection. Just think about the times you may have ever lost a connection. Now think about how even basic functions in your home would be affected. Unfortunately, our minds are used to thinking that our lives depend on internet connection. We should actually be reversing this trend for true smart homes.

How does a Loxone Real Smart Home compete with Cloud-based smart homes?

Worry-free, of course. You never have to compromise comfort in a Loxone Smart Home. All the above problems with Cloud-based technology are never a concern in a Loxone Smart Home. Completely independent from the Cloud and Loxone servers, this ensures that the Loxone Miniserver is consistently reliable from installation to installation, anywhere. All of your favorite smart home functions are available offline. The only exception is for certain additional services like our Caller Service.

Even better? Your data will never leave your home. It is stored on your Miniserver and does not go any further, which is why we say…

A smart home configuration and installation experience you can’t get anywhere else; the Loxone Smart Home Training Course now offers even more hands-on experience with our new Demo Boards* as part of our Loxone Training Kit. When used along with the Loxone Config and Demo Case, you can practice a simulation of a multi-room configuration and installation right on a tabletop. It’s that simple and compact.

*Demo Boards are for training purposes only and not available for purchase.

How you’ll use the Loxone Config

With just a few clicks and drags on our software, you’ll be able to configure a smart home in a way that makes sense. Simply match up rooms and smart home products and functions and then set all your specifications. The best part: no extra programming required!

What to love about the Demo Case

See a Miniserver in action. As the core of every installation, it determines how each component will operate according to your configuration input. During configuration, you’ll see how it will act and react in real-time along with other extensions and smart home products.

Advantages of Demo Board practice

Loxone products all interact with one another, and now so will you with hands-on Demo Board practice. The Demo Board is split into “rooms” that you will use to install products like light fixtures and motion sensors.

Refreshingly low maintenance and beautiful

A dream pool lives in the minds of many. But Loxone Partners have the special opportunity to make this a reality with a twist – automated pool management. With these examples of award-winning pools from Loxone Partner Woodtli, you can not only appreciate their beauty, but you can also realize the capabilities of Loxone. Luxury pools become easier to maintain – the real dream.

Owning a Woodtli pool means being economically, ecologically and technically up to date. This is all made possible, among other attributes, by the integration of Loxone Smart Home technology.

What do these pools have in common?

Their beauty is obvious at first glance, but we’re focusing on is under the surface. The pools’ designs are paired with Loxone technology for true luxury and automation.

That means pool functions that operate by themselves, so you can relax on your pool float knowing your pool is working for you. Think filter systems, temperature management and more.

Then in the Loxone Smart Home App, any pool function can be controlled. Instantly display water temperature and operating conditions or regulation of pH and chlorine values. You can even control the filter system or the operation of the pool’s lighting, cover, water levels and much more.

– Special Tip –

How does this all happen?

The key player here is the Loxone AquaStar Air, developed together with Austrian pool supplier Peraqua. The six-way backlash valve relieves pool owners of tasks around the pool. Thanks to Loxone Air technology, pools can be quickly and easily integrated into Real Smart Homes worldwide.

The stars aligned and lit up both a dream and reality of lighting design for Rachel Calemmo. In our Q&A session, Rachel addresses unique factors and capabilities of light in planning & design, how to face common lighting challenges, and more fresh insights.

An expert in balancing aesthetics and energy efficiency, Rachel plans for and creates visually appealing environments that also function to enhance lifestyles in today’s technology-focused world. As cofounder of Christian Rae Studio, LLC in Southport, CT, she plays a role in all aspects of project design, construction and management. Her vision is focused on collaboration with clients, architects, designers and engineers from the onset of a project integrating the lighting seamlessly with architecture. And here’s a glimpse at Rachel’s beliefs and thought processes behind its fruition:

Q: What are your thoughts on lighting control?

A: Lighting control is essential. Yes, you could just put on/off switches on the walls, but that just leaves so much on the table. What’s nice is a more personalized and intuitive lighting system that even follows daylight rhythms for natural health benefits. And since LEDs now have RGBW, warm dimming and all different layers of lighting options within single fixtures, the only way to really take advantage of that is with extra control. Then you can have smooth dimming or follow daylight rhythms in living spaces with proper scheduling and controls. I really like that [with Loxone] you could have all your spaces communicate together or separate. Then having all the control in one location is a huge benefit.

Q: What are your thoughts on the evolution of the light switch in regard to today’s Touch Pure by Loxone?

A: I don’t think light switches have really evolved much until the Touch Pure. I love how it cleans up the wall and puts all home control into a stylish package.

“I don’t think light switches have really evolved much until the Touch Pure.”

Q: What are some unique uses for light that you’ve had to implement in past projects? Provide detail on how this affected your choices in planning & design.

A: What I’ve encountered in the health care and commercial realm, but I’m also starting to see in residential, is the need to time lighting at specific times of day. LED lighting technology puts us in a position where we can now create personalized lighting to mitigate circadian disruption, optimize mood and visual experience and improve our sense of well-being in better ways than ever before.

Now that I work on high-end residential projects, timed lighting has been common for spa spaces or yoga rooms. Whereas now, it’s becoming more common throughout the whole house which requires more advanced fixtures. When planning and designing these projects, I select fixtures that have smart drivers and offer a full range of dimming 100% as well as color tuning to create the right rhythmic temperatures with naturally occurring light outside. The most requests for this are especially from people who have trouble sleeping or relaxing, so it will reinforce their bodies’ natural circadian rhythms. It’s critical that the smart drivers and LED fixtures communicate so nothing is disrupted. Then, I work with integrators and manufacturers [such as Loxone] that offer lighting control solutions that allow these fixtures to operate according to specific schedules according to time clocks as well as user interfaces.

“LED lighting technology puts us in a position where we can now create personalized lighting to mitigate circadian disruption, optimize mood and visual experience and improve our sense of well-being in better ways than ever before.”

Q: What are some challenges you’ve faced in past projects?

A: One of the biggest challenges is matching up fixers and drivers with control systems. This has been a common challenge for lighting designers in the past two years because of constant changes and variety of products out there. So you really have to make sure your systems are compatible for smooth dimming, etc.

If there’s an integrator, I make sure we’re working in tandem as early on as possible, as well as the rest of the team. And with Loxone, all products are small, in the sense that you don’t face the complexity of some control systems. They don’t take up a huge amount of real estate.

Now, I definitely try to work smarter. I get anyone who’s going to touch a specific project along the way involved as early as possible. We can work through issues before products are purchased and we get too far along in design and construction process.

Q: How does Tree wiring change the lighting design process?

A:Tree wiring makes it easier because I don’t have to spend time working on circuiting. There’s more time to think about lighting scenes as the spaces develop instead of planning it out on paper. I don’t have to worry about that, and I can do any programming later.

Q: What factors do you consider when planning for commercial vs. residential design?

A: Commercial and residential can be very similar. But with commercial, my main concerns are mostly energy savings and tasks. Although occupant well-being is up there, productivity is usually number one. But they go hand-in-hand. Both require a focus on color temperature and color rendering of light sources as well as the ability for end users to maximize control of lighting and coordinate it with daylight.

For example, in retail I’ll think about how to get shoppers to buy more. Or in a school or office, how to keep people alert and focused. I tackle situations with color temperature and color rendering, which highlights the things I want people to focus on and pay attention to. I also make sure fixtures are used in a way that’s energy efficient and task focused.

Then with residential, it’s more about comfort, feeling welcomed and relaxed. For me, that’s where dimming control plays a large role. Personalizing space comes down to lighting control and scenes that can be set to how a homeowner likes them to be. It’s all intuitive.

“I tackle situations with color temperature and color rendering, which highlights the things I want people to focus on and pay attention to. I also make sure fixtures are used in a way that’s energy efficient and task focused.”

Q: If you could transform the lighting of any existing space or building what would the space or building be, and why? How would you transform it?

A: I would tackle the next big challenge for lighting designers, outdoor streetscape and lighting. Light pollution is a major issue for humans and animals alike. With improvements to lighting technologies, we are able to control light better than ever before, so we need to be more responsible with how we use our outdoor lighting.

I would like to transform it by making sure that any lighting used from dusk to dawn be Dark-Sky compliant. I love the natural lighting design of the stars and we don’t see enough of them! However, as a lighting designer, I also love a well-lit nighttime environment. There is something beautiful about an up-lit tree or a bridge with RGBW illumination. I believe that we can achieve exciting lighting designs and increase public safety at night by using light when and where it’s needed by specifying the proper fixture for the job, not over-lighting and controlling lights with timers to ensure we are not disrupting the circadian rhythms of people or animals.

A few years ago during a pool installation, a question came up: How could we control the counter current for the pool when we’re actually in the pool itself (like when you’re in a hot tub)? Even further; how about a switch as part of the smart home system that could be activated with just a single touch? This thought was where the idea for the Touch Surface was born…

A symbolic start to the Touch Surface

One of the founders of Loxone, Thomas, recommended: “Why don’t we integrate controls into the surrounding concrete of the pool? So that with just a simple touch you can switch the counter current on or off.”

“That sounds good, let’s do it, ” answered Martin, the other Loxone founder, “I’ll think of a few creative symbols and mill the stone.”

A prototype project was started, components ordered, wiring in place, and the experiment had begun. The result was a practicable and simple solution. Using a technology that is found in every smartphone today resulted in a “wow” from guests the moment they saw it in action.

Years later: We turned to the kitchen

Having proven itself, Thomas and Martin turned to the pool-side switch (also known as the “Pool Stone”) a few years later when a similar question arose during the planning of the first Loxone Showhome in Austria.

“Can we somehow integrate something into the kitchen countertop so that we don’t always have to reach for a switch on the wall when our hands are messy from preparing food?” the pair tinkered around with the idea, made a few sketches and turned to the initial planning of the “Pool Stone”.

The concept was there. It only needed to be refined to suit the standards of a Loxone Smart Home. More ideas soon followed: we could integrate LEDs to indicate the status, and some challenges were tackled like we need to find a way to prevent accidental activation, such as when someone puts a pot on it.

TOUCH SURFACE IN FOCUS

> Turn your home surfaces or furniture into a switch

> For simple control of lighting, shading, music…

> 5 touch points (additional activation key)

> Freely assignable status LEDs

> Works on stone, wood, ceramics, glass

Time to create the prototype Martin phoned a friend at Strasser, specialists in stone kitchen countertops, “Hannes, we have an idea. We need some samples with different mailing designs.”

Right away, stone samples were stacking up with our research and development team. Next step, soldering and experimenting, with the 3D printer turning out the first housing of the components.

“After 14 days, we had the first usable sample in our hands. We were thrilled with how it worked, and were sure that our customers would be too. And, or course, it had to be installed in our own kitchens as soon as possible.”

The Touch Surface project was firmly underway with the code name “Excalibur”; which would see the early version of the Pool Stone being further improved.

What goes in the kitchen can go everywhere

With the realization of the idea of being able to integrate control directly into a surface, new ideas quickly started to emerge of where else this solution could be used.

“On the patio table! I inevitable need to control something when we’re sat at the patio table. My children weren’t in favor of the complicated remote control we had up to this point.

“How about at the coffee table? I would then have control of the lighting and volume always at hand.”

When the first prototypes were handed to Loxone employees – also called Loxonauts – for testing, their creativity and imagination were fueled even further. A colleague, who really enjoys listening to music in the morning, decided to install one of these switches behind the tiles in the shower.

“Yes! Finally I can turn the volume up when one of my favorite songs comes on while I’m showering.”

It’s your turn.What will you transform?

What started years ago as a pool-side project has resulted in an award-winning product available to everyone in the form of the Touch Surface. Today, anyone can turn (almost) any surface into an intuitive point of control for their smart home. Whether you need a wired or wireless version, from a solid kitchen countertop to smaller pieces of furniture or fixtures, let your imagination run wild. Work with your trusted Loxone Partner to realize your creative ideas.
